Mayor's Message
To the Honorable Common Council:
Gentlemen : — The law provides that I shall communicate to
you, once a year, a statement of the finances and general condi-
tions of the city. This information can only be supplied in a com-
plete and satisfactory manner after the heads of the various de-
partments have summarized the year's work, and have tabulated
and itemized the business that has been transacted, and submitted
the same to me with their recommendations. Complete reports
from all the departments are now in my hands for the year 1906,
and are ready for publication. I herewith submit the same to
you Tor your information. The annual report of the Controller
has already been submitted to you at an earlier date. The law
confers upon the Common Council the power and duty of fixing
the annual tax levy, and of making the necessary appropriations
of funds to the various departments upon an itemized requisition
for the same, being submitted with the approval of the Controller.
In order to do this intelligently the Council should know how the
moneys heretofore appropriated to the various departments have
been expended, what improvements have been made, and what
are the needs and recommendations of the various departments
for the ensuing year.
You will find these reports complete in every detail and I
would recommend a careful examination of the same by you.
controller's report.
The report of the Controller shows that there was a cash
16 Mayor's Message.
balance on hand to the credit of the General Fund on the first day
of January, 1906, of $89,728.84, and that the total receipts dur-
ing- the year 1906, to General Fund Account was $276,139.60,
making a total of $365,868.44 of receipts and balances. Of this
amount $281,067.15 was appropriated during the year to the ac-
count of the various departments, of which there was left an un-
expended balance at the end of the year of $17,648.10, which was
transferred to the General Fund Account, making the balance in
the General Fund Account at the end of the year 1906, or the
first day of January, 1907, $102,449.39 or $13,721.55 in excess of
that on hand January first, 1906. The report also shows the con-
dition of the various special funds at the close of the year to be
in an equally satisfactory condition. This exhibit of the final con-
ditions of the city is certainly very gratifying, showing as it
does that the financial affairs of the city have been carefully and
wisely managed by the Controller during the year. The exhibit
is also to the credit of the various executive departments of the
citv, showing as it does an unexpended balance in their accounts
at the end of the year of $17,648.10. The Council is also to be
commended in wisely refraining from authorizing any extravag-
ant or unnecessary outlays of money, and thus impair the city
cash reserve, or necessitate an increase in the tax levy in order
to meet the city's obligations.
The credit of the city is now on a high plane, and its financial
standing such as many a less progressive city of its class may
envy. The bonded debt of the city on the first day of January,
1907, was $599,800.00- The Sinking Fund for bond redemption
on January 1, 1907, was $52,339.61. The annual addition to this
fund from taxes is about $14,000.00. It will be seen that if the
cash funds on hand for that purpose could be applied to bona re-
demption, it would place the city's indebtedness considerably be-
low the constitutional limit. It is the purpose of the present ad-
ministration to not only maintain these conditions, but to improve
the same from year to year.
Mayor's Message. 17
LAW DEPARTMENT.
The report of the City Attorney shows the cases pending
against the city and also those disposed of during the year 1906.
It will be observed that two of the most important suits in which
the city is involved are due to causes and conditions that existed
prior to the incoming of the present administration, viz : The
damage suits due to an accident at the Clinton Street -Bridge by
which one person was killed and another severely injured, owing
to an alleged defective condition of the bridge in 1905, at the
time the accident occurred, and the suit instituted against the
Fort Wayne Gas Company to restrain the company from using
the Natural Gas mains without an agreed price for gas. One of
the bridge cases has been compromised and disposed of after a
judgment had been rendered against the city in the Adams coun-
ty Court for $5,000. The other bridge case is still pending on ap-
peal. I do not think it was for the city to readily compromise
doubtful claims for damages. Such a policy will only result in
encouraging the bringing of such suits. The legal business of
the city has been handled in a careful and successful manner.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The report of the Board of Public Works serves to exhibit
the many responsibilities and duties imposed upon it by law, and
the great extent and importance of the work that is performed
by it each year. I can safely say that the duties devolving on this
important department of the city government are so extensive
and varied as to require the constant personal attention of each
member every day in the year. The duty of managing the Water
Works System is a new burden imposed on this department
ovmg to a recent change in the law, and while great and lasting
improvements have been made in the Water Works during the
past year under their direction, it did not prevent the Board from
giving due attention to other lines of public work, as an examina-
tion of their report will show.
18 Mayor's Message.
WATER WORKS.
Early in 1906, soon after the Board assumed control of the
Water Works, the condition of the Reservoir became a matter of
serious concern. An examination showed that any scheme of re-
pair along the lines upon which it was originally constructed was
entirely out of the question, and that a new reservoir would have
to be designed and constructed in a manner that would success-
fully overcome the defects that caused failure of the old one.
This J believe has been accomplished by making the new basin of
be-'iv'y concrete construction, re-enforced by deep girders and
buttresses, the whole securely banded together by a system of
heavy steel bars so placed as to be capable of resisting any
stresses to which the structure will ever be subject to. The new
Reservoir will have a capacity of 5,000,000 gallons. Before be-
ginning the construction of the new Reservoir it was found ad-
visable and even necessary to increase the water supply and
pumping facilities so as to insure adequate pressure for fire pro-
tection as well as domestic service during the time the reservoir
was undergoing construction. No time was lost by the Board in
undertaking this work. A test well was put down on the Baade
farm south of the city, which proved to be a gusher. A vast
volume of pure, cold water poured out of the well with such force
that it was with difficulty that the well was controlled. Addition-
al wells were put down with like result. Land was purchased, a
station building erected, pumping machinery secured, an exten-
sive system of supply pipe for delivering the water laid down,
and before the end of the year the new supply station was in
successful operation delivering from two to two and a half mil-
lion gallons of water daily to the great satisfaction of the people
living in the southern part of the city. The improvements to the
Water Works System made in 1906 and 1907, will be of lasting
benefit to the city as well as a fitting testimonial to the energy of
the Board in bringing the same to a successful completion.
Mayor's Message. 19
ELECTRIC EIGHT WORKS.
Another matter that engaged the attention of the Board was
the initiation of the work of building the Municipal Lighting
Plant. This was taken in hand soon after the Special Election
held in relation to that question, in the fall of 1906. The verdict
of the people at the polls left no room for doubt or hesitancy any.
longer. A large majority of the voters in every precinct in the
city cast an affirmative vote in the question. The work of pro-
curing a competent engineer to prepare the necessary plans as
well as supervise the work, was taken up with the result that after
diligent inquiry and investigation the services of Mr. Owen Ford,
of St. Louis, Missouri, were secured for this work. I have been
reliably informed and have no hesitancy in declaring that Mr.
Ford will prove to be a very competent and reliable man before
the close of trie year 1907. The work of construction will be so
far advanced as to furnish conclusive proof that the city will soon
have in successful operation a Municipal Lighting Plant.
CEMENT SIDEWALKS.
No improvement undertaken by the Board of Public Works
in recent years has induced more favorable comment than that
of providing modern sightly cement sidewalks in place of the
dilapidated brick affairs that encumber miles of our best thor-
oughfares. There should be no let up on this line of improve-
ment until our new sidewalks will compare favorably to our
new streets.
STREET CLEANING.
There are forty miles of paved streets in the city to clean and
keep clean. To clean this extensive surface is no easy task. Dur
ing the summer and fall months, and also in the late spring, the
20 Mayor's Message.
condition of our paved streets as to cleanliness challenges criti-
cism. This is especially true as to the residence streets, and
when the limited amount of money available for and expended on
this work is taken into account, the results are highly creditable.
During the winter season street cleaning operations are practical-
ly at a standstill. A sudden freeze or a fall of snow puts an end
to the work along this line. It does not, however, put an end to
the accumulation of dirt which goes on from hour to hour and
day to day. When a change in the weather removes the snow
and ice, there is disclosed an offensive deposit of filth on the
pavement, which attracts attention, and the critics explain, "look
ai the condition of the streets." When it is understood that it
lakes not hours or days, but weeks of continuous work with all
the force of men and implements that the city can command to re
move the accumulated dirt from the streets in spring time. It
will be seen how unreasonable it is to expect that this work can be
done during a few days of fair weather
ROARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
This Department has been manage 1 in a most satisfactory
and excellent manner during the year. The Board has given
close and personal attention to the interests of both Police and
Fire Departments, A new and more powerful fire engine has.
been provided for the Central Station, to take the place of the old
one that had been in service 27 years. This will prove a valuable
acquisition in affording fire protection in the business district.
An enlargement of the No. 3 station on Washington Boulevard
has been planned, and is being carried out, which will be equipped
with new and additional fire apparatus, making that station the
equal or superior to No. 1 in affording fire protection to the busi-
ness district. The interests of the Police Department have also been
looked after, and many things done to increase the efficiency, and
promote discipline in that department. The Board's request for
funds to install a modern Police Signal System should be granted.
Mayor's Message. 21
No improvement will add more to the efficiency of the department
than this, as it will enable "Headquarters" to be in almost con-
stant touch with every patrolman day and night.
MARKET HOUSE.
For several years a fund has been accumulating for Market
House purposes. This year's taxes will bring this fund up to
about $10,000. I would recommend that sufficient additional
funds be provided if possible to enable the city to erect on the re-
tail market space a suitable building for market purposes. This
would be a great accommodation to the market people and the
public who patronize the market as well. The revenue derived
from market privileges is considerable and it would not be many
years until such a building would pay for itself.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
The report of the Department of Public Health gives the
number of cases of contagious disease reported and acted upon.
Also a detailed statement of all other work done by the depart-
ment during the year. The requirements of this department upon
the city treasury for funds is relatively small compared to the
needs of some other departments, nevertheless the value of its
work to the people of the city is great, and cannot easily be com-
puted in dollars and cents. "An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," seems to be the theory upon which the Health
Board conducts its business. During the early part of 1906 there
were a great many cases of smallpox discovered, isolated and
treated. By energetic action the disease was practically stamped
out in a few months. In isolating and treating the cases of small-
pox the new Isolation Hospital has been of great service. The
treatment of contagious diseases is not the only work that en-
gages the time and attention of the Board, through the agency of
22 Mayor's Message.
the Sanitary Police, a great deal is accomplished in the way of
establishing and maintaining good sanitary conditions through-
out the city.
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
The Cities and Towns Law of 1905, established in cities of
the first and second class a Department of Parks to be under the
control of a Board of Park Commissioners, although the law im-
poses numerous duties and responsibilities upon this Board, it
expressly forbids any payment by the city for their services. Un-
der the circumstances the inspiring motive of our Park Board
must be "Civic Pride," and their only reward a sense of public
appreciation of their work. During the past year the gentlemen
composing the Park Board have devoted a considerable portion
of their time and attention to improving and developing our Park
System, for which they are entitled to due credit, as well as the
thanks of the citizens. Efforts have been put forth by them to
secure park facilities for the people of the south-eastern part of
the city by acquiring by purchase or condemnation proceedings,
a beautifully wooded tract of land situated on South Hanna
Street of some sixteen acres in extent. In this they have not yet
been successful on account of the owners refusing to accept the
amount offered for the property. A proposition- has also been
made by the Forest Park Land Co., and Lakeside Land Com-
pany to sell to the city a tract of land, some 22 acres in extent, for
park purposes in the vicinity of and including Delta Lake. The
land is worth considerable more at present values of real estate
in that locality than that which is asked. A few years ago the
city had an opportunity to acquire the land across the river from
Swinney Park, and by connecting the same with a bridge, would
have added greatly to the extent and value of Swinney Park. The
matter was neglected, however, and the land has since been sold
for a much greater sum than it would have cost the city at the
time.
Mayor's Message. 23
I trust the Council will give these matters due consideration,
and will provide ways and means for increasing the park facilities
of the city. The report of the Park Board will show the work ac-
complished in this department during the year 1906.
ELEVATION OF RAILROAD TRACKS.
The question of eliminating the dangerous grade crossing at
Calhoun street and other streets leading to the South Side, has
long heen a matter of vital interest to the people of the city and
especially to those who reside on the South Side. It has come
to be the concensus of opinion that the only way that this im-
provement can be successfully and satisfactorily accomplished is
by a proper elevation of the railroad tracks, and the construction
of subways beneath them. The main difficulty heretofore has been
to arrive at a satisfactory understanding with the Railroad Com-
panies as to the extent the tracks shall be elevated, and equitable
division of the cost of the work between the Railroad Company,
the City and the Traction Company. I am pleased to state, how-'
.ever, that I believe those difficulties have been overcome and that
if no unforseen obstacle arrives, work on this improvement will
be begun within a short time.
THE GAS QUESTION.
In regard to this question, I wish to state that every effort
has been made by the Board of Public Works, the City Attorney
and mysdf to come to some satisfactory understanding with the
representatives of the Gas Company, whereby a general distribu-
tion of gas may be had on terms that would be fair and satisfac-
tory to the majority of the people, and that would be a recogni-
tion in some slight degree at least on the part of the Company
of the conditions and obligations of its contract with the city. I
am forced to the conclusion, however, that all the while the nego
tiations were going on, their was an entire lack of good faith and
24 Mayor's Message.
sincerity on the part of the company's representatives. The pub-
lic as well as ourselves were led to believe that if a rate of 85
cents per thousand feet were conceded on a ten year agreement,
it wo aid be acceptable to the Company. Subsequent develop
ments, however, showed that this proposition was a mere pre-
tense, and if acceded to, would only be used as a basis for fur-
ther demands. The fact of the matter is the Company has never
abandoned the idea of obtaining a dollar rate for its gas, and also
to convert to its use the extensive system of Natural Gas mains
for supplying artificial gas at that rate, notwithstanding the con-
tract with the city under which permission was granted. To lay
those mains provides that if used for artificial gas it must be sold
for 25 cents per thousand. The law gives the city no right or
power to fix or regulate the price of gas (at a reasonable rate or
otherwise) except by contract. To permit the Company to oc-
cupy the Natural Gas System of pipe without any contract with
the city in regard to price, would be equivalent to giving the
Company the right to charge what it pleased. Hence we have
insisted that if they want to use the natural gas pipe system for
supplying artificial gas, it must be under contract conditions now
existing or else on terms that will be reasonable and satisfactory,
and that those terms must be stipulated in a written contract with
the city. As evidence of our readiness to make concessions in or-
der that litigation might be avoided, as well as delay in the peo-
ple getting the benefit of a fuel gas service, we proposed to give
the Company the right to charge $1 per 1000 for illuminating
purposes, provided they would consent to a rate of either 70 or 75
cents, according to the length of time the agreement would run,
of gas for cooking and fuel purposes. This proposition, however,
was rejected in the plea that the company wanted a uniform rate
for gas. This contention surprised us in view of the fact that
nearly all gas companies offer and supply gas for cooking and
heating purposes at lower rates than is charged for lighting, and
led to the conviction that what the Company wanted was not a
Mayor's Message. 2£
uniform price for gas, but a sufficiently high one to enable the
company to practice discrimination by charging the small and
numerous consumers the high price for both lighting and cook-
ing, and thus enable the company to discriminate in the interest
of large or favored ones. We then proposed a uniform rate of
80 cents per 1000 on a ten year contract, and finally an 85 cent
rate for five years and an 80 cent rate for five years on a ten year
agreement. The answer to all those liberal propositions was the
filing of a suit in the Federal Court in behalf of the Company's
bondholders, requiring the city to show cause why the city should
not. be perpetually enjoyed from any interference with the receiv-
er digging up the streets, laying additional pipe connecting up the
natural gas pipe system, and supplying artificial gas through the
same for an indefinite time at the rate of $1.00 per thousand. The
mask is thus thrown off, and the fact disclosed that the people
behind this suit hope to secure through the agency of the Federal
Courts rights and privileges they know they can never hope to
honestly secure from either the present or any future administra-
tion in this city. That a one dollar rate for gas is an unreason-
able and unwarrantable rate in this city under the conditions that
exist here, can be readily and conclusively proved for two reasons
that are well known. First : Several years ago when the com-
pany possessed but a few hundred consumers and little- prospect
or possibility of greatly increasing its patronage, and when it was
producing gas by means of an antiquated obsolete and highly ex-
pensive generating plant it voluntarily reduced its price for gas
which was used mainly for illuminating purposes, to one dollar
per thousand. To-day with the field of patronage cleared from
natural gas competition and thousands of prospective consumers
ready to take gas not only for lighting, but for heating, cooking
and power purposes as well, and possessing a modern and highly
efficient and economical producing plant of great capacity, it still
wants to maintain that rate not only for light but for all other
purposes as well. The second reason is that in every instance in
26 Mayor's Message.
recent years where a controversy and dispute has arisen between
gas companies and cities as to the price of gas, it has been proved
conclusively after the most exhaustive inquiry and the testimony
of experts both for and against gas companies that the best
quality of gas is and can be made and distributed at a cost of fifty
cents per thousand, and that an inferior quality of gas can be
made for very much less. One result of establishing a dollar rate
for gas in this city, and it is very likely the inspiring motive be-
hind those who instituted this suit, it would add value to the two
millions of gold bricks, known as six per cent, mortgage bonds,
issued to a confiding public during the era of natural gas and en-
able the present holders of these bonds to enrich themselves out
of the tribute collected from the users of artificial gas. Another
effect would be the facility it would afford to the reorganized gas
company to repeat the same operation and thus forstall every at-
tempt to get a reduction in the price of gas for the future on the
plausible pretense that a reduction of rates and revenue would en-
tail an unjust loss and sacrifice on the part of the investor in the
gas company's securities. In concluding this subject I will advise
you that the city has answered this demand in court, and that it
will contest the matter to the court of last resort, should it be
necessary to do so.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Another subject I desire to say a few words about before I
close, is the subject of "Law Enforcement." There appears to be
a more or less widespread demand that the laws shall be more
strictly, rigorously and effectively enforced. Some of the people
who use that phrase probably mean all laws, while others evident-
ly mean only the laws that relate to the retail traffic on liquor?
Well, in answer to that demand saloons have been closed at eleven
o'clock at night and on Sunday. Liquor dealers who violate the
law have been arrested and brought in court by the police, and an
effort made to secure in greater degree the results contemplated
Mayor's Message. 27
by those laws, namely, good order and sobriety in the community.
The people who interest themselves in this matter seem to be
more concerned about appearances than results. That is if the
screens are down and nothing doing in the saloons, they are satis-
fied, and the fact that drunkenness and disorder may previal does
not give them much concern. I am also inclined to the opinion
that should a more general and rigorous enforcement of all laws
be put into effect some of those people would be found defending
and upholding one set of law breakers with as much zeal as they
now manifest in pursuing and punishing another set. However,
that may be it must be manifest to all that if a sane and reason-
able enforcement of all laws will not suffice, there is no other re-
source left but one — enforcement of laws in a manner that is
neither sane or reasonable.
In conclusion I wish to express my thanks and appreciation
towards all the officers and employes of the city in the different
departments for the faithful manner in which they have per-
formed their various duties, and also to thank the members of the
council for the loyal support you have given and the efficient man-
ner in which you have aided in disposing of the many difficult
matters that have come before you.
Trusting, that the same harmonious spirit will continue in the
future that has existed in the past, I am,
Respectfully,

tion instituted in the Superior Court of Allen County for dam-
ages and which was tried in the Adams Circuit Court. A judg-
ment was rendered against the city for five thousand dollars, but

Controller's Report
REPORT OF THE CITY CONTROLLER, FOR THE YEAR
ENDING WITH DECEMBER 31, 1906.
Fort Wayne, Ind., January i, 1907.
To the Mayor and Common Council:
Gentlemen : — I herewith submit the report of the Depart-
ment of Finance for the fiscal year ending with December 31st,
1906, together with a few other data that may be of value and
interest in connection with this report.
The report shows conclusively that the finances of the city
are in a better condition today than they have been at any other
time in the history of the city. All obligations were paid prompt-
ly when presented and due, thereby preserving and strength-
ening the excellent credit this city has enjoyed throughout the
financial centers of this country. . Considering the fact that our
tax levy is but one dollar, for city purposes, that but eighty-four
cents of this levy are available for General Purposes, that the as-
sessed valuation is not more than 70 per cent, of the actual value,
and that the delinquencies annually amount to nearly $50,000.00,
mostly personal and poll tax, I regard the showing made an ex-
cellent one, and conclusive proof that the rate of taxation need
not be raised. Some means should be devised, however, by which
those, who fail to meet their small but just obligations to the pub-
lic, will be compelled to pay their stipend just as well as the
laborer and mechanic who after years of toil and strife has
finally succeeded in acquiring an unpretentious home. The rev-
enues derived from other sources than taxes will be found to be
quite small when compared with those collected in other cities.
It will be noticed that the General Appropriations Account shows
44 Controller's Report.
a balance on hand amounting to $102,149.39. This balance,
however, includes $7,500.00 appropriated for the purchase of
park grounds on South Hanna Street, $850.00 for a street flush-
ing machine, and $175.00 for the purchase of a new wagon
scales, which obligations have not been presented for redemption
up to the present time. These appropriations for specific pur-
poses will be carried over to the accounts for the year 1907.
The time has come when the City should purchase an up-to-
date truck for Engine House No. 1, as well as an up-to-date Police
Signal and Alarm System, both being badly needed. For the past
eight or ten years the Board of Public Safety and the Chiefs of
the respective departments have been clamoring for these im-
provements, and as the funds at the present time are available, I
would recommend that they be invested in, these needed and per-
manent improvements, without further delay.
During the coming year a covering should be provided for
the Market Place. At the present time the amount available for
that purpose amounts to $6,540.83, to which at least $3,500.00
will be added from tax receipts during the coming year. The
health, comfort and convenience of all who attend our markets,
purchasers as well as venders, the protection required by the goods
and wares offered for sale, demand that this improvement be
made forthwith. The increased revenues to the city from that
source, that will follow such an improvement, will justify the
expenditure of funds required to make the improvement desired.
The annual appropriations made for this year provide for
each department a sufficient amount to conduct the affairs of the
city in a prompt, business-like manner, providing the required
care and economy are practiced in the expenditures of .public funds
as they should be.
Respectfully submitted,
August M. Schmidt,
City Controller.

A
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
TO THE
Hon. William J. Hosey
MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FORT WAYNE
FOR THE
Fiscal Year Ending December 31st, 1906
Department of Public Works
Fort Wayne, Indiana, January i, 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor:
Dear Sir : — We hereby submit a report covering the opera-
tions of the Department of Public Works from January 1, 1906,
to January 1, 1907. We have aimed to be economical and prompt
to carry out the transactions coming under the jurisdiction of this
department.
We have sometimes been prevented from making certain im-
provements by reason of the fact that the appropriations in some
cases were insufficient. At various times during the year the
Board was- compelled to ask for additional appropriations (caused
by circumstances over which the Board had no control), which
requests were in a majority of instances granted, enabling us to
make a very fair showing in the way of improvement compared
with former years.
While we have been careful not to ask for any excessive ap-
propriations, still we have been able to return to the general fund
at the end of the year, no inconsiderable amount of money saved
out of the various accounts as the Controller's report will show.
The territory which has been annexed to the city in the past
year will greatly increase the expense of maintaining streets, there
being as yet no street or alley crossings in any part of the new ter-
ritory. Added to this is the expense of collecting and incinerating
the garbage, which will be no small item. The placing of the
Water Works Department under the jurisdiction of this Board
has added greatly to our responsibilities, but we feel pardonably
proud in stating that the efficiency of this department has been
substantially and permanently increased by the purchase of suit-
able ground, drilling four wells with an abundance of pure water
82 Board of Public Works' Report.
and the installation of an electrically driven pump in a neat and
substantial pump house.
Attached you will find a detailed account of the expenditures
of the various branches of this department.
Respectfully,
E. J. Lennon,
Henry Schwartz,
Jesse Brosius,
Board of Public Works.

Report of
Department of Public Parks
1906
i
Department of Public Parks
Fort Wayne, Indiana, January ist, 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor :
Fort Wayne has made a most creditable beginning in the mat-
ter of securing public parks. It is well, however, to remember
that while the park grounds owned by the City would readily sell
for at least $400,000.00, they have cost Fort Wayne but a trifling
sum. The more valuable of our parks have been the gifts, either
in whole or in part, of public spirited citizens of Fort Wayne. It
is to be hoped that others of our men and women of wealth and
public spirit may emulate the example of such a man as Thomas
W. Swinney, who in the gift of Swinney Park to the City of Fort
Wayne, built for himself in the hearts of the people of this and
coming generations, a monument far more precious than the
costliest shaft or mausoleum in yonder Lindenwood.
But Fort Wayne cannot afford to shirk any of her respon-
sibility to herself to provide additional park grounds for the bet-
terment of social conditions and for the enjoyment and benefit of
the citizens of greater Fort Wayne, soon to be realized from the
healthy but extremely rapid growth our city is certain to make
during the next ten years. There is nothing that would more
surely or might more justly add to the credit of your administra-
154 Department of Pubuc Parks.
tion of the honorable position of mayor of Fort Wayne, than to
have it said that it was during your term of office, and largely by
your aid, that additional park grounds were secured, while yet
they could be had at prices at which the city could afford to buy.
The cities of the old world are tearing down great and expensive
buildings by the block, that parks may be established in their stead.
Scores of millions of dollars are being thus expended, where single
thousands would have done in the early history of such cities.
Nothing so favorably impresses the stranger within our gates and
sends him from us to chant our praises, as public parks, paved
streets, and good sidewalks.
In making up the estimates in the fall of 1905, the City
Council was asked by the Board of Park Commissioners to pro-
vide the sum of $7,500 for the purchase of a new park in the
Tenth Ward, to be made from the beautiful and heavily wooded
fifteen acres of ground lying on the east side of Hanna street, ad-
joining the city and just south of the Industrial Park Addition.
The Council readily granted its consent and the money was appro-
priated. The owner of the ground desired, refused to accept the
$7,500 for the property. A court appraisement was therefore had,
and the value of the land was fixed at the sum named, and con-
demnation proceedings were promptly entered upon ; but these
failed because of an unconstitutional provision in the new law, re-
lating to the tender of payment to the owner of the condemned
property.
A new action will be commenced under the old law and a new
appraisement will have to be made, but the Board is hopeful that
before the close of the year 1907, the property will have been se-
cured. Under the action of the law this $7,500 appropriated for
the purchase of these grounds, went back into the general fund at
the close of the city's fiscal year, and will have to be re-appro-
priated after the new appraisement has been made.
In the fall of 1966, the Board asked the consent of the Council
to purchase about twenty acres of ground for a park in Lakeside
Department oe Public Parks. 155
Park Addition, for the sum of $5,000. This land is worth for
platting purposes, several times the sum stated and we were ex-
ceedingly anxious to secure it. Other pressing public necessities
caused the City Council, very reluctantly, to deny our petition. It
is, however, confidently hoped that some method may be devised
during the year 1907, by which this very desirable piece of ground
for park purposes may yet be secured.
The appropriations for the Department of Public Parks for
the year 1906 were as follows :
For the purchase of new grounds $ 7>5°° °°
For the maintenance of new parks 9>450 00
For new improvements . 950 00

Report of
Superintendent of Parks
1906
Superintendent of Parks
Fort Wayne, Ind., January ist, 1907.
To the Board of Park Commissioners:
Gentlemen : — The parks of the city were maintained and
cared for in the best possible manner. The improvements made
were necessary to the extent that the appropriations made would
warrant.
The work in Williams park, which was formerly Piqua park,
was done according to the plans submitted by myself to the Board,
which were satisfactory to them. The trees and shrubbery which
are planted in Williams park, with the exception of a few that
have been broken down, are all in good condition.
The same trouble with the high water in Swinney park was
experienced last spring as in previous years, which washed, out
portions of walks and driveways as well as leaving a heavy deposit
of sand and filth upon the lands, which had to be removed by
hand, thus causing quite an extra expense. Therefore, I would
recommend that, if possible, a dike be constructed outside the
main driveway, which I think would keep the water from running
over the park from the west side.
All the flowers and plants which were set in the various
parks the last spring were as in former years reared in the city's
green houses.
I would also recommend that a driveway be constructed
from Garden street leading to the south of the park and ending
at the west of the main driveway. This would give vehicles, etc.,
168 Board of Public Works' Report.
an opportunity of entering the park from Washington boulevard
and leaving the park on Jefferson street. This improvement has
been called to my attention several times, as it is often the case
that on account of automobiles, etc., the entrance to Swinney park
is very crowded and dangerous, and by having a new road con-
structed as above recommended, I think it would eliminate this
danger.
I would also suggest that a new water line be laid in Lawton
park from Sixth street south to the drinking fountain, as our
present line through the park, when same is in use, does not fur-
nish an adequate supply of water to the fountain.
The damage to plants and trees in the parks the past season,
by storms, was very small.
Respectfully yours,
August Goers,
Superintendent.
170 Board of Public Works' Report.
LAWTON PARK.
This is the oldest and prettiest of our parks, but owing to
its location, being somewhat out of the way in the extreme north-
ern part of the city, the number of visitors during the season is
not as large as it should be. The park in its present condition
is quite complete and no new work of any expensive character
will be needed there. A small nursery has been established just
north of the green houses located in this park and in which trees
and shrubs of various kinds are reared.
During the spring 25,000 plants and flowers of various kinds
were furnished by the green houses to be planted in this park.

SWINNEY PARK.
Swinney park, the largest of our park properties, covers an
area of a little over 45 acres ; although the park is yet incomplete
a great many of the contemplated improvements not having been
made owing to a lack of funds, still I may truthfully say that
Swinney park is the park of the city today.
The improvements so far made have greatly beautified the
surroundings, the lake, the flowing well with its inexhaustible
supply of pure, fresh, healthy drinking water, the wooded picnic
grounds almost surrounded by the waters of St. Mary's river, the
excellent driveways and bicycle tracks, all tend to make it an ideal
and attractive spot. The daily attendance during the park season
is increasing rapidly and I fear, will ere long be greater than
the park will accommodate. If possible the unimproved piece of
ground lying just west of this park should 'be acquired and added
to the park. It is well adapted for such purposes and provides
all the room desired. About 20,000 plants and flowers of a large
variety were planted here last spring.

Mcculloch park.
This park, located in the southwestern part of the city, is
one of our small parks, covering an area of but four acres. Its
arrangement is complete and well kept, affording a beautiful
place for recreation to the people living in its immediate vicinity.
About the usual number of plants and flowers were furnished by
the green houses for this park last spring.

RESERVOIR PARK.
This park is located in the southern part of the city about
and along the reservoir supplying the city with water, and covers
an area of about 13 acres. It is also quite complete and no new
improvements of any kind will have to be made there.
The usual amount of labor was performed in maintaining
the property, and about 20,000 plants and flowers were furnished
to beautify this park.

HAYDEN PARK.
Hayden park, located in the eastern part of the city, contains
but one and one-quarter acres. It is almost too small to be called
a park, nevertheless is greatly appreciated by the people of that
thickly settled part of the city.
About 10,000 plants and flowers were planted there last
spring and such labor performed that became necessary to main-
tain the park in good condition.

This park, located on South Calhoun street, was, by a reso-
lution adopted by the Board on April 26th, 1907, changed to the
name of Williams park, as this tract of land was donated to the
city by the Williams heirs.
OLD FORT PARK.
Old Fort park covers but one-fifth of an acre and is main-
tained for the purpose of commemorating the historic spot where
the fort, erected by Generad Anthony Wayne, stood. It is being
cared for by this department and presents quite a pleasing appear-
ance.

Report of the Board of Public Safety
FOR THE YEAR 1906
Fort Wayne, Indiana, January ist, 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor.
Dear Sir : — The report of the Board of Public Safety for
the year 1906 is herewith submitted to you.
We consider the record of the department better than at any
other report. During the year eight patrolmen have been added
to the Police Department, which has been a great help in a better
enforcement of the law. We, however, consider the force still
too small, owing to the large amount of additional territory, which
was added to the city the first of the year. We would recommend
that the board be authorized to employ six additional men.
We wish to again call your attention to the need of a new
police alarm system. This matter has been brought to the notice
of the council for seven years past, but owing to various causes
it has not been allowed.
We call your attention to the report of both the Chief of
Police and the City Electrician on this subject, which we think
will show the absolute need of this improvement.
Another need of the Police Department is a new team for
the patrol wagon. The team in present service has stood the
hard usage of the department in making both day and night runs
for a number of years and have become 'badly used up and are no
longer able to stand the strain.
In regard to the Fire Department, we will state that there
ire several much needed improvements that would aid in bring-
222 Board of Public Safety's Report.
ing the department up to the standard expected of a city of this
size. First and foremost we wish to call your attention to a rec-
ommendation made by this board in its last report in regard to an
addition being built to the No. 3 Engine House, on Washington
boulevard. This is absolutely needed and should be done this
year. The fire force in the center of the city is very much handi-
capped by the need of a new 85-foot aerial ladder. This fact is
recognized by the Council and is also spoken of in the report of
the Controller. It cannot be purchased, however, until the above
mentioned addition is built, as there is no house in the city that
can house it. When the addition is built, it should be made large
enough to take care of a No. 1 size steamer, which will have to be
purchased in the near future.
The location of Engine House No. 3 is such that it takes
care of all fires in the center of the city where all the large busi-
ness blocks are located, and its equipment should be the best. At
the present time the business district is looked after by the force
of Engine House No. 1, which is provided with but one No. 2
size engine, which is far from adequate.
We are still in need of about 2,000 feet of 2^ -inch fire hose
to bring the supply up to the requirements of the houses, which
should each be supplied with 2,000 feet. With this number of
feet on hand it never would be needful to have wet hose on the
wagons, thus prolonging the life of the hose about one-half.
There is another recommendation, which we again speak of.
That is, for the purchase of two portable fire extinguishers for
each hose wagon. Were the hose wagons thus supplied, it would
not only save considerable loss by water in the case of small fires,
but would relieve the chemical engine of a number of runs to the
remote outskirts of the city.
During the past year the board purchased a No. 2 size Nott
fire engine for House No. 1. We expect this engine to be in
service about March 1st. This, however, does not enlarge the
equipment of the department, as it simply takes the place of an
Board of Public Safety's Report. 223
old engine which has been in service for the past twenty-eight
years and is entirely worn out.
In regard to the City Weighmaster, we would state that dur-
ing the past year we purchased a new ten-ton Howe scale and
have put everything in first-class condition.
The Marketmaster's report will show that during the past
year the receipts of the market have been larger than during any
previous year. This could be greatly increased should a suitable
cover be put over the market space. The increased income, how-
ever, we believe to De the smallest consideration, as the added
comfort and convenience of the many citizens who frequent this
place would in our estimation be so great as to offset the cost of
the improvement.
For further information in regard to the department men-
tioned, the board would respectfully call your attention to the re-
ports of the heads of the various departments, which accompany
this report.
Respectfully submitted,
George Herrmann,
James J. Hayes,
Calvin K. Reiman,

Report of the Chief of Police
Fort Wayne, Ind., January ist, 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Public Safety.
Gentlemen : — I beg to submit herewith the statistical report
of the Fort Wayne Police Department of the City of Fort Wayne,
Ind., for the year 1906, ending December 31st:
The department is operating very successfully and as you
will note by the report attached a marked improvement over the
preceding year has been made.
The efficient work of the detectives shows for itself. I my-
self handle a great number of cases personally, but these are
credited to the detective who is working with me.
We need badly a new police patrol system, as the present
method is very poor and proves a hindrance to getting the best
service out of the patrolmen. I hope you will see your way
clear to make an improvement this year along this line.
The Bertillon system is being handled with the strictest at-
tention, I myself supervising each measurement, and we keep
in touch with the National Bureau of Identification at Washing-
ton at all times.
If it lie in your power, I would earnestly lequest that the
numerical strength of the department be increased. This is im«
perative in my judgment, because of the rapid growth of our city,
both as to area and population.
It is also absolutely necessary that we have a new set of
harness for the team on the wagon, as we only have the one
which is in use at the present time, which has been in service some
time. When it is necessary to have repairs made to this set it
puts the wagon practically out of service.
I desire to express my thanks for the cordial support given
the department.
Martin H. Ankenbruck,
Chief of Police.
230 Board of Public Safety's Report.
BERTILLON SYSTEM.
During the year 1906 about 75 pictures were taken and quite
a number of informations received from the National Bureau
of Identification.
Most of these were sentenced to state's prison and in looking
over the list we have gotton hold of a number of some of the
best "crooks" in the country, and a number of young men who
would have made bad ones in time if let go.
We are progressing very materially along this line and we
are keeping in touch with the people at Washington at all times.
GENERAL REVIEW.
A general review of the business transacted by the Police De-
partment during the year 1906 shows an increase in the number
of arrests and other items as follows :
Total arrests this year, 1,319; last year, 994.
There were eight thousand, three hundred and two dollars
($8,302) lost and stolen property reported, six thousand, seven
hundred and twenty- four dollars ($6,724) of which was recov-
ered.
Seventy-three lost children found and returned to their
parents by the officers.
One hundred and fifteen stores, offices and other places of
business found open after business hours, which were locked or
made secure by the officer on the district.
One hundred and thirty-seven felony arrests, out of which
fifty-seven convictions were made ; eight cases pending ; twenty-
eight were placed in charge of probation officer and seven sus-
pended sentence ; four acquitted, twelve dismissed and two con-
tinued indefinitely.
Nineteen criminals were arrested (fugitives) for officers
outside of Allen County.
Board of Public Safety's Report. 231
Twelve hundred and forty-two tramps were lodged at the
station at their own request.
Fifty-six bicycles were found abandoned on the streets and
brought to the station to await a claimant.
The patrol wagon made thirteen hundred and sixty runs,
covering seven hundred and fifty-one miles, bringing twelve hun-
dred and sixteen prisoners to the station, taking seven hundred
and ninety-one to jail. Seventy-five sick or injured taken home
or to the hospital. - . .
There was 147,464 box calls and 28,920 telephone calls, mak-

Report of

1906
Annual Report of Superintendent of Fire
and Police Alarm
Fort Wayne, Indiana, January ist, 1907.
Henry Hilbrecht, Chief of Fire Department.
Dear Sir : — I herewith submit my annual report of the Fire
Alarm Telegraph Department for the year ending December 31st,
1906:
The fire alarm is in good working order. The new switch
board installed is working fine.
During the past year we have not added any new boxes or
wire.
We have about 35 miles of wire, divided into 6 circuits; 87
alarm boxes, 1 tower bell, 8 combined gongs and indicators, 1
gong at Pumping Station No. 1, 1 tapper at Chief's residence, 1
automatic repeater, operated by 156 cells of storage battery and
switch board.
I wish to call your attention to the fact that the number of
Doxes we have is not sufficient for the territory we cover, and
that you recommend the purchase of more boxes as soon as cir-
cumstances permit.
I would also recommend the purchase of a new police alarm,
as the old system is in very bad condition.
Respectfully submitted.
John Schroeder,
Supt. of Fire and Police Alarm.

This report will be found to contain statements in detail of
the condition of this department, a record of all fires and alarms

lieve necessary to increase the efficiency of this department.
FIRES.

The loss by fire for the year ending December 31st, 1906, on
buildings and contents, amounted to . . ; insurance on the
property, ; insurance paid,
MANUAL FORCE.
The manual force of the department consists of sixty-one
men, as follows : One chief, one electrician, eight captains, eight
engineers, nineteen drivers, twenty-three hosemen and one tele-
phone operator.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus in service consists of seven steam fire engines,
264 Board of Public Safety's Report.
eight hose wagons, one chemical engine, one hook and ladder
truck, one aerial extension ladder truck, one coal supply wagon,
one chief's wagon, one fire alarm line wagon.
HORSES.
The horses in service number forty- two. They are in good
condition with the exception of a few that are old and crippled,
and they should be replaced by young horses.
HOSE.
We have at the present time 15,050 feet of 2^2 -inch cotton
hose in service in good condition. A lot of worn out hose has
been taken out of service in the last year and discarded. I would
recommend the purchase of at least 1,000 feet this year, and we
will need 200 feet of i-inch chemical hose this year.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
In my previous reports I have recommended to place an en-
gine and truck at No. 3 engine house. In my judgment it is abso-
lutely necessary to provide for an additional engine in the center
of the city. The necessity for additional fire protection becomes
more evident every day in the business districts. Many new and
larger buildings are being constructed, and it becomes necessary
to improve the fire protection in the center of the city with hook
and ladder service and engine service, and I would again recom-
mend that some provision be made for an addition at No. 3
engine house, suitable for this apparatus. I would again recom-
mend to equip the hose wagons with two 3-gallon fire ex-
tinguishers.
In conclusion I desire to return my thanks to his honor the
Mayor, the Common Council, the Controller and the Board of
Public Safety for their hearty support in all matters pertaining
to the success of this department, to all the city officials for their
kind and courteous treatment, to the Chief of Police and his
officers for valuable assistance rendered at fires, and to the officers

and members of this department for the prompt and efficient
manner in which they have performed their duty.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Health Department
Fort Wayne, Indiana, January ist, 1907.
To Wm. J. Hosey, Mayor of Fort Wayne, Ind.
Sir: — Herewith is submitted the report of the Health De-
partment for the year ending December 31, 1906:
At the beginning of the year the Board of Health organized
and elected Dr. H. O. Bruggeman secretary and executive officer.
The employes of the previous administration were all retained.
The results obtained by the work of the year are highly gratify-
ing, because the general sanitary condition of Fort Wayne is now
above the average for similarly situated cities of the same size.
To complete the efficiency of the department and promote the
health of the municipality the following suggestions are urged as
being desirable, viz. :
1st. The appointment of a meat and dairy inspector.
2d. The daily flushing of the paved streets and sprinkling
of the unpaved streets.
3d. The appointment of an additional sanitary officer.
The desirability of having all meats intended for human con-
sumption slaughtered under the supervision of a competent in-
spector is now recognized by every one who reads the daily
papers. The fact that Fort Wayne meat dealers may violate the
sanitary statutes is attested by the fact that an analysis of nine
samples of sausage collected from various dealers showed three
adulterated with borax and one with sulphite of sodium. The
department knows that meat slaughtered under the dirtiest
and most unsanitary of methods is now being sold in this city, and
we have every reason to believe that hogs which have been fat-
306 Board of Public Health's Report.
tened upon the carcasses of dead and diseased horses are being
consumed by our citizens. The need of the inspector of dairies
is evidenced by the mortality records, which show that during
the year thirty-seven children under two years of age died of
diarrhoeal diseases. This means in brief that thirty-seven lives
have been sacrificed to a dirty milk supply.
The dust of the city streets being composed of sputum,
manure, etc., must of necessity be a carrier of disease. The
elimination of a considerable percentage of communicatable dis-
eases can be accomplished by having daily flushings of all paved
streets and the sprinkling of those which are unpaved. We be-
lieve this should be done by the municipal authorities.
The great need of an additional sanitary officer has been re-
ferred to in so many previous reports as to scarcely need mention
at this time.

Vaccinations made by the department 250
From the foregoing table it will be observed that typhoid and
tuberculosis cases were not reported. There were also many
unreported cases of measles and whooping cough. It is there-
fore evident that the law governing the reporting of contagious
diseases is being violated by both the laity and the medical pro-
fession. All our disinfections are now made by the formalin-
potassium permanganate method; a more expensive, but we be-
lieve a much more effective, method than the one previously in
use by the department.
SMALLPOX.
We started the year with a legacy of 14 cases of smallpox
from the previous administration. The epidemic remained un-
abated until July, and since then we have had but a few sporadic
cases. There were no deaths from smallpox. This disease was
the department's greatest source of work. We investigated a
yast number of so-called "suspicious cases," and used every means
to stamp out the contagion ; of course our efforts were handi-
capped by not having a compulsory vaccination law. During
<the year we quarantined the Flamilton, Nebraska and McCulloch
schools, the Foster shirt waist factory, the Home telephone ex-
change, the Menefee foundry and many smaller buildings. Per-
mission to enter these establishments was granted only to those
who could present a certificate of recent vaccination. By this
Board of Public Health's Report. 311
means we secured the vaccination of hundreds of exposed indi-
viduals.
The Isolation Hospital was opened in March and 44 small-
pox patients were cared for at the institution. At first it was
decided to place all variolous patients in the hospital, but after a
trial this was found to be impracticable, and only those patients
were admitted who would have to be supported by the city if
quarantined at home, and those living in lodging houses and
hotels.
The hospital is in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Geiger, who
work under a contract, the chief features of which contract are as
follows :
They are given — first, the use of living rooms and two acres
of ground ; second, light and fuel ; third, $50.00 a month salary :
fourth, $4.00 a week for each patient in the institution.
They are required — first, to transport patients to and from
the hospital, and the horse or horses required must be furnished
and maintained at their expense ; second, furnish board and laun-
dry work for the patients ; third, to furnish such nurses or other
help as may at any time be required ; fourth, to keep the institu-
tion clean and habitable at all times.
Two-thirds of the salary, light and fuel are paid by the city
and one-third by the county.
DIPHTHERIA.
The mortality from diphtheria of a little over 12 per cent is
too high for the mild form of the disease that was epidemic
during the year. The Chicago health department makes the
statement that if a child dies of diphtheria, one of two parties is
directly responsible ; either the parents in not calling a physician
soon enough, or the physician in not making the correct diagnosis
and giving proper treatment early enough in the disease. There
will be no deaths from diphtheria when a sufficient dose of anti-
toxin is administered in the beginning of the disease. The city
312 Board of Public Health's Report
now furnishes anti-toxin to those unable to buy it. Through the
efforts of this department the serum of the McCormick Memorial
Institute can now be purchased in Fort Wayne at a cost of $3.00
for a syringe containing 3,000 units.
TYPHOID FEVER.
The source of the infection in the ten fatal cases could not
be discovered. We are positive, however, that no case was the
result of an infection from the city water. Several of the cases
undoubtedly received the infection outside of Fort Wayne.
MEASELS.
An epidemic of measels started on the north side and soon
spread over the entire city. But a small fraction of the cases
were reported to the department. The Rudisill school was disin-
fected and closed for 14 days because of the prevalence of this
TUBERCULOSIS.
Tuberculosis still remains the chief cause of death. So much
has been written about this subject of late that it is unnecessary to
further discuss it at this time.
SCARLET FEVER.
Fort Wayne has had but few cases of this disease for sev-
eral years.
VITAL STATISTICS
The death certificates frequently contained such causes of
death as "complication of diseases," "convulsions," "spasms" and
"heart failure," terms which render the certificates useless for
statistical purposes. The department is now endeavoring to se-
cure the registration of the correct pathological condition in every
case. Some physicians give the same cause of death on almost
every certificate signed by them. For instance, one physician
practically invariably uses the term apoplexy, and another appears
to have all his patients die from nephritis. While such practices
are followed, an attempt to gain information from a study of
vital statistics in Fort Wayne is a waste of time.

A record of 781 deaths and but 692 births would seem to in-
dicate the prevalence of "race suicide" in Fort Wayne, but the
actual cause of such an apparently alarming state of affairs is a
failure of many prominent physicians to obey the law. During
the coming year this department will probably resort to the prose-
cution of all those who fail to report births.

WATER.
The city water was subjected to repeated tests in the city
laboratory for contamination with colon bacilli. All such exam-
inations were negative.
A number of samples of city water collected from different
places at various times were analyzed by State Chemist Barnard,
and in each instance his verdict was, "This is a good water."
Four wells were examined and two were condemned, as they
contained colon bacilli.
GENERAL SANITARY WORK.
The appended reports of the sanitary officers show that
3,396 notices to abate nuisances were served during the year.
The orders of the officers were generally obeyed without the
necessity of resorting to prosecution.

These reports do not include the work done in connection
with the placing of placards on houses for quarantine purposes
nor their removal when quarantine is lifted, neither does it men-
tion the disinfection of each of these houses after infections and
contagious diseases, nor the daily trips to homes quarantined, nor
the collecting" of samples of milk for examination in the labora-
tory.
The Bash fertilizing plant on Hanover street was the cause
of many just complaints from those residing in the vicinity of
the establishment. At the request of this department the city at-
torney instituted leg'al proceedings and the Bash company were
perpetually restrained from conducting a rendering or fertilizing
business in the buildings on Hanover street.
